DAF means Detailed Applicaton Form.

Every student who clears UPSC prelims will have to fill DAF two weeks after the results of
Prelims.

DAF is a very crucial document and it determines everything from your career to posting.Thats why special care is needed to
fill DAF.

DAF has 8 parts and each part has to be filled completely.

For your convenience , I am attaching the photos of a DAF .

8 mistakes generally committed while filling DAF

1. Don’t send the DAF print preview pdf to UPSC by mistake. The DAF that should be send to UPSC must be the original one.
2. Should be printed on single/one sided page. (2014 instruction)
3. Sign the DAF at all pages and at the space mentioned by UPSC.
4. Affix a passport size photograph of yours, similar to the photograph displayed in DAF.
 5. Affix a central recruitment stamp worth Rs.200/- in the space mentioned. Get it cancelled using the post-office seal which
should clearly mark the date and post office name.
6. Attach all necessary certificates mentioned by UPSC along with the DAF. For general candidates the certificates needed
include Class 10th mark-list to prove DOB and Degree-Certificate to prove your eligibility. The certificates attached should be
attested – either by a gazetted officer or self attested with date.
7. Superscribe on the top of envelope -“Application for Civil Service (Main) Exam *”.
8. It’s always better to read UPSC Civil Service Exam Notification and Instructions before filling DAF.

DAF needs individual attention and customised filling.
